$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk


I'm getting the below errors


appusony@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Package sun-java6-jdk is not available, but is referred to by another

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package sun-java6-jdk has no installation candidate

I believe that the path to the stock arm cross compiler is prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.x/arm-linux-androideabi/bin/gcc as opposed to the one that it's trying to use in your make command.

This toolchain gets setup in build/envsetup.sh
toolchaindir=toolchain/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.x/bin

Try: source build/envsetup.sh
and maybe running choosecombo and choosing beagleboard as the product.

Alternatively you should be able to specify a toolchain for android to use on the command line with TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX=

HTH,

Try running 'source build/envsetup.sh' (the toolchain to use gets setup in that script).
It's likely that toolchain its trying to use doesn't exist, that doesn't seem to be the default one, which is established in envsetup.sh
You can try running 'choosecombo' after the source command as well and choosing product as beagleboard.

You should be able to specify a custom toolchain with TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX= on the command line.

Perhaps Ubuntu 10.04 LTS has become unsupported, so you may try
replacing "lucid" by "precise" (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS).

Hi,

I believe you shall read this http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
for the procedure to install java6.

Good luck,
Alvin Wong

DO NOT switch to precise.
It is not supported "straight out of the box". You can work around it,
but it's not worth the pain if you are already using Ubuntu Lucid
(10.04)

Just go to Oracle (formerly sun) website, and download and install the
sun(oracle) JDK for your machine.

Note:
JDK version-7 is OK, and Open-JDK, which is ubuntu's default is also
sometimes OK - but you would have to disable the "error stop"
directive on
build/core/main.mk
( Search for something:
# Check for the correct version of java
java_version := $(shell java -version 2>&1 | head -n 1 | grep '^java
.*[ "]1\.6[\. "$$]')
)
